10. I weep and refrain from eating food,which causes others to insult me.
11. I wear sackclothand they ridicule me.
12. Those who sit at the city gate gossip about me;drunkards mock me in their songs.
13. O Lord, may you hear my prayer and be favorably disposed to me!O God, because of your great loyal love, answer me with your faithful deliverance!
14. Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink!Deliver me from those who hate me,from the deep water!
15. Don’t let the current overpower me!Don’t let the deep swallow me up!Don’t let the pit devour me!
16. Answer me, O Lord, for your loyal love is good!Because of your great compassion, turn toward me!
